| Subject: | Proc-Reliable not working on WinXP |
I have installed Proc-Reliable-1.16 on a perl-5.8.4 windowsNT build. The make test ran successfully with no failures.
The following script fails at line 411 of Proc/Reliable.pm [if($pid = fork()) {]:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Proc::Reliable;
Proc::Reliable::debug(1);
$| = 1;
my $command = "dir";
my $proc = new Proc::Reliable();
my($stdout, $stderr, $status, $msg) = $proc->run($command);
print "OUT: $stdout--\n";
print "ERR: $stderr--\n";
print "status = $status\n";
print "msg = $msg\n";
__END__
The documentation does not state this module is not for use on win32 systems. If the module is for use on Win32 systems it should be corrected. If it is not, the make test and the documentation should be updated to state this.
Thank you,
